Descriptions

The Metform Elementor Contact Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via text areas on forms in versions up to, and including, 3.1.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page, which is the submissions page.

WordPress Metform Elementor Contact Form Builder plugin versions 3.1.2 and below suffer from a persistent cross site scripting vulnerability.
